The Keelmen of Newcastle still continue to set their employers at defiance, and appear as little likely to return to their
employment as they did a month ago. It is admitted by all dispassionate persons, that they are exclusively and decidedly in the
wrong, their demands being absurd and injurious. 

 

A number of Woodcocks have already been seen shot in this vicinity. 

 

The Lord Bishop of Carlisle has left Rose Castle for his residence in London. 

 

On Sunday night last, no less than 13 gas-lamps, and six oil-lamps, were broken in this city by some undiscovered disorderly
street-walkers. They ought to be aware that a very serious legal punishment awaits the detection of such conduct, as well as public
execration. 

 

Wm. COLMAN, committed for further examination on a charge of robbing Mr. DIXON's house at the Knells, was brought up at the
Police-Office on Wednesday, and again remanded, instead of being fully committed, at the request of his attorney. He is now
additionally charged with stealing five sheaves of grain from an oat-stack, the property of Mr. WEIGHTMAN, of Hayton. James MURRAY
was committed, for a period of three months, in default of paying a penalty of £5, for hunting on a Sunday. Several witnesses proved
on Saturday, the day on which the conviction took place, that MURRAY has been in the habit of going out with the dogs almost every
Sunday, frequently taking a crowd of boys with him. 

 

On Sunday night, the premises of Messrs. R. FERGUSON & Sons, at Denton Holme, near Carlisle, were robbed of a quantity of railing. 

 

Tuesday last, the 5th of November, the flag was displayed at the Castle, and the great guns at noon fired the usual salute. 

 

A farmer, named IRWIN, residing at Fenton, near Brampton, hanged himself on Tuesday morning last, on a tree near his own house. No
cause can be assigned for this act, but a depression of spirits arising from the badness of the times. An inquest was held on the
body, before R. LOWRY, Esq.—verdict lunacy. 

 

About a fortnight ago, the servants of Mr. ARMSTRONG, of Garlands, found close by the door, a part of a man's pair of breeches, and
a neckkerchief, which that gentleman's two house-dogs are supposed to have torn from some man or men who had passed that way on the
preceding night; there was also on the spot a great quantity of blood, which had apparently proceeded from the dogs' bites. It is
not known that the party thus wounded was on the spot with any mischievous intention; but that conclusion is not unnatural, as no
one ever called to complain. Garlands is situate abpiut half-way between Scotby and Carlton, and there is no regular road that way:
as one of Mr. Armstrong's dogs is nightly kept loose near the house, this statement may serve as a caution to people of the
neighbourhood not to pass in that direction late at night. 

 

Cockbridge-Hunt, on the 1st. instant, was well attended, notwithstanding the unfavourableness of the weather. The dogs exerted
themselves admirably. At three, the rain increased, and the company were obliged to return to the inn, where was provided a good
dinner, and the usual ceremonies were observed. James BROUGHAM, Esq., George MUSGRAVE, Esq., John CHRISTIAN, Esq., James WYBERGH,
Esq., and ——— HODGSON, Esq., were elected Common Councilmen of the Corporation. The choice of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, fell
upon Sir P. MUSGRAVE, Bart. The company spent the afternoon most pleasantly. 

 

The two celebrated grey-hound dogs, belonging to Mr. JARDINE, of Duncowfold, have this season run in Scotland and England, 42 hares,
and killed 41. 

 

Mr. John BOADLE, master of the Scipio, of Whitehaven, met with a dreadful accident a few days ago, in Dublin. He was standing
witnessing the discharge of timber from the Alexander, (of which his son is master,) and while in the act of warning his son to
beware the grips did not slip, he was struck by them on the forehead, with so much violence, that he has been insensible ever since.


 

The William, HAYTON, from Dublin, for Liverpool, with a cargo of cattle, was put in at Whitehaven, on Saturday. She had experienced
very heavy gales, and was so near her intended port as to have taken in a pilot. Of the 56 cows and oxen on board, 42 were dead, and
the remaining 14 were not able to stand when landed. 

 

It said that the inhabitants of the Isle of Man are much dissatisfied with the removal of the mail from Whitehaven to Liverpool. An
application for a return to the old plan is expected. 

 

At a meeting of the principal creditors of Sir F. BLAKE, REID, & Co., Bankers, held at Newcastle on the 1st inst., the Mayor in the
chair, a statement of property was given in, to be vested in trustees, which convinced the gentlemen present that there was more
than enough to cover all demands upon the firm: they therefore agreed to a proposed arrangement, namely, to take a dividend of 10s.
in the pound in Feb. or March next, and the remainder in two instalments of 5s. each, with interest, payable within twelve or
eighteen months from this time. 

 

His Majesty has been pleased to appoint Sir Walter SCOTT, Bart., to be a deputy lieutenant for the county of Roxburgh. 

 

The cattle markets in the South of Scotland and North of England continue as depressed as ever. Some of the finest bullocks have
frequently gone so low as £7 : 7s. Small highland cattle 30s. to 45s. per head; good two year olds from £3 to £5 : 5s. The
difficulties of the times force into the market an over-supply. 

 

At Lockerby hiring-market, last week, men obtained for the half year, from £3 to £5; women 25s. to 50s. The demand was not brisk.
